With both Day 1 and Day 2 of the India vs Bangladesh Test at Kanpur’s Green Park Stadium affected by rain, fans are left wondering if Day 3 will face similar interruptions. Persistent rain has hampered play, leading to early stumps on Day 1 and a complete washout on Day 2. Bangladesh is currently at 107/3, with only 35 overs played in total. The weather forecast does not look promising for uninterrupted play on Day 3.
Day 3 Weather Forecast
Unfortunately for cricket enthusiasts, the weather in Kanpur is expected to stay cloudy, as predicted earlier. According to AccuWeather, rain is likely throughout the day, particularly in the morning session from around 10:00 to 12:30 and later during the final session from 3:00 to 5:00. Thunderstorms are also predicted for the afternoon, which could further affect the playing conditions at Green Park Stadium.
Impact on the Match and WTC Final Prospects
If the India vs Bangladesh Test ends in a draw due to weather interruptions, it would affect India’s standing in the World Test Championship (WTC). India would then need to win 5 out of their remaining 8 games to secure a spot in the WTC final. However, these calculations are subject to change based on other teams’ performances. Currently, India is well-placed at the top of the WTC table and aims to maintain its position to reach the final for the third time.
